I decided to do this race about an hour and a half beforehand. After some logistical problems surrounding how I was going to get there, I didn't leave my house until 45 minutes beforehand and really had no idea where I was going. I arrive about 5 minutes beforehand and still had to register. Thank god for small races. I was able to accomplish all of this and still had about 2 minutes to spare.
Results:
- 24:59: pace of 8:03 per mile
- 52nd out of 338 finishers
- 11th out of 191 women
- 3rd out of 25 for 35-39 women
- 21:24 was the winning time for women
- 22:39 was the winning time for 35-39 women
All things considering, it wasn't too bad. I wouldn't say I pushed myself super hard. It was more for fun and I have to admit that I had fun.
